Preparation
Make in advance a strong coffee. Add the sugar, let it cool and put it in the fridge. Add more sugar if needed.

Beat egg yolks and sugar with an electric mixer for 3-5 minutes, until you obtain a smooth cream. Add Marsala and mix until is homogenized. Put this mixture in a double boiller pan. Stir continuosly to avoid the slurps until it allmost start to boil. It looks like a thicker creps mixture.

Blend well Mascarpone. Add the hot egg yolk cream and stir until homogenized.

Add the whipped cream. Mix with a spoon until is incorporated (don’t use electic mixer, you can make it butter).

Use a glass tray 9 x 12. Make the assembly line: lady fingers, bowl with coffee (espresso), tray, cream. Soak each lady finger into the coffee for 2-3 seconds and arrange them in line, in one layer. Put over the lady finger half cream and spread it. Make the second layer with lady fingers and spread the other half of the cream.

Powder with cacao.
